Hi, there are so many photography blogs/ websites (including mine) that it gets incredibly tough to sift through all of them, and figure out which are the ones that you actually need to follow. Yours, by far, is one of the most interesting and useful. I discovered your site sometime last year, and have religiously read all your posts since. Your passion for sharing your learnings and experiences is stunning, and humbling. Thanks for doing this.

Excellent post Don. This should be required reading for every photographer, professional novice or not. Things I thought I had a pretty good grasp on, I now understand a lot better. Many thanks.

Thanks, you just saved me $100k + at SVA here in NYC. I have only had my camera for a year and need to make, find, create whatever more time to shoot. Experience is the best teacher and I need to get in the classroom. Thank you for this post and please keep them coming.

Don,

Simply a great post, as so many above me have stated! Thank you, thank you, thank you. And the timing is PERFECT, almost like you’ve been reading some of OUR minds!

Can’t wait to attend a workshop and meet you in person.

Don…
Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a personable way. Your message makes so much sense. I appreciate your teaching and encouragement to those of us who are truely considering making this a career. Taking the time to share your experiences and knowledge is so valuable, it would take years and years to learn on our own what you have just said. I look forward to attending another workshop in the future.

Thanks again!
Daniel
